Mozilla now seems intent on removing user choice at every opportunity.

Firefox was created to give users choice and let them customize the browser to their liking. That’s the way it’s been for a long time, and I suspect it’s the way it will be for the rest of its existence. The complementary answer is because Mozilla will do what Mozilla wants, regardless of what users wants. It’s really fun when you’re trying to preview a 50+ page document (such as many Terms and Conditions, privacy policies, or EULAs which most people never bother to read).Īs for the question of “Why?”, it’s been obvious for many years that Mozilla desperately wants to be Google. That’s really helpful when you’re trying to preview a 20+ page document to make sure it prints everything correctly (for example, if you don’t want a a page break with only one line of a paragraph printed on the next page). In “classic” mode, they had page navigation buttons - first page, last page, previous page, and next page in the new mode, they got rid of those buttons, forcing you to scroll to preview the pages. In “classic” mode, the Scale drop-down had presets 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100, 125, 150, 175, 200, and Shrink To Fit in the new mode, they got rid of the presets. With that said, the new print dialog is abysmal. I think this is a horrible change, but I admit I strongly dislike change for no justifiable reason (and “because Chrome does it that way” is not a valid reason).
